Crimson Karma - Chapter 132
Only Ranovel
Chapter 132 [Side Story] Foggy Forest
A year has passed since the end of the civil war.
Thanks to the emperor and the empress Buddha, which are terrible work bugs, all of the public figures have had to struggle with their terrible work. It was also inevitable of Ernon Keishas, the Empire’s greatest archmage. His lover had already served as the vice-chairman of the troublesome emperor’s organization called the’Policy Research Council’, which made it difficult for them to even face to face once a week. However, Ernon was under less pressure from the emperor because of his position as a wizard where personal research was important.
After the civil war, Ernon was more and more firmly the prestige of’the pinnacle of attack magic’, but recently he was devoted to acquiring magic knowledge in various fields besides attack magic. Because of a lot of shame, I pretended to study mental magic and defensive magic in front of others, but in fact, what is stuck in the study and creating procrastination is the fantasy magic where you can see scenes of white snow or beautiful flowers blooming. Most were. He couldn’t have been so happy to make a vague expression as if Casilla was possessed by the beautiful fantasy magic he had created over a few days. It always thrilled him to know that in the whole empire he would be the only one who could draw such a defenseless expression from her who always seemed to be forged.
So, even today, he was creating a fantasy magic by opening several books and combining them. The idea was to create a beautiful forest fantasy similar to a misty forest, including the meaning of apology for their first meeting, which cannot be replaced. Because Casilla likes to walk through forest paths.
There were surprisingly many things to pay attention to in making one fantasy magic. If the details of the fantasy that I will be creating are not clearly captured in my head, the fantasy quickly collapsed, so I had to focus on each image. The first snowfall fantasy I made was relatively easy. It is because the image of the night when he first met Casilla was strongly embedded in his mind. However, in order to create the fantasy of the flower garden after that, I had to make this excuse and that excuse to visit the garden of the Imperial Palace, which is the most beautiful in the Imperial Palace several times.
‘There is no forest as beautiful as a forest of fog around here… . Hmm. I have to go to the foggy forest once.’
Ernon jumped up, grabbed a couple of books, and put on a robe. I left a simple note saying in case Casilla might be worried while trying to move. Then he cast a space movement magic straight toward Tyrrell’s fog forest.
Casilla, who only found Ernon’s memo the next night, considered it insignificant. If it wasn’t for the memo, he was so exhausted that he couldn’t even think of Ernon, and it was not uncommon for Ernon to vacate the water for several days for research. It was difficult to meet once a week anyway, so it didn’t matter if he left for a few days. It must have been.
Casilla couldn’t sleep well that night for some reason. Obviously, the head and body are tired and screaming, but strangely, the mind is getting clearer. The black night sky from the window and the stars that twinkle so strangely at any time were telling us that the night was deep, but Kashiya only looked at the night sky outside the window while lying in bed, blinking with both eyes.
‘If it’s Kirel… Will it take 4 or 5 days from here in quick words… . Ernon would have gone to space movement, right? Wouldn’t the horsepower consumption be severe? How do you try to fix the meal? If I skip meals, I can’t worry about it… . Last time I looked at it, it seemed that there was something to be hidden, but what may have happened?’
The thoughts that had begun once continued with the tail on the tail. It’s been a year since I became a lover with him, but to her, Ernon was still a mysterious and beautiful person, and 100% of them seemed impossible to know. Ernon didn’t even know he thought of himself that way.
Anyway, the next day came without fail, even though I was overwhelmed by the endless thoughts of Ernon, and Casilla once again squeezed the memories of her previous life and had to propose a system that can be introduced at the present time for the construction of the empire that Tassel hopes for. sent. She did not have time to return to the capital’s mansion, so she was using a room in the imperial palace as her bedroom. She got up, washed, and dressed as soon as she went to work, solved the morning with bread and tea provided by her attendants, and reviewed the subject of the day. When both the emperor and the lawmakers entered the conference room, the insignia was removed and the proposals and discussions continued for 3 hours, followed by a 2 hour meal. It also takes a break, but it quickly passes about two hours to organize the contents of the morning for the discussion that will follow in the afternoon. Then, for another 4 hours, proposals and discussions continued, and in the evening, they had to eat and contact other nobles individually to create a flow within the aristocratic society and to unfold. Then it often turns into a dark night.
After such a busy day, Kashiya returned to the bedroom and decided to go into the hot tub to unwind her stiff shoulders and back neck. Casilla, who hates the strong scent, used to float the refreshing scented Perlogna tea leaves in the bath, but the day she took a bath in Ernon’s bathroom suddenly reminded me of being half enchanted in the hot tub.
‘Looking at that, at that time, Ernon was okay even when he saw my naked body… .’
Casilla looked down at her naked body swaying under the transparent bath water. In the past, I thought it wasn’t bad either as a warrior or as a woman, but now I look back and see clearly different muscles from the women of the Imperial Palace. Even looking at the maids passing by without making a single footstep in the imperial hall, they did not have the same lumpy muscles as themselves. Their bodies seemed to consist only of soft curves. The parts where the name’neck’ goes in are how thin, and some men are excited about the woman’s thin ankles. Her cuffs that firmly supported her black hands or her ankles that had to spur the ground were certainly much thicker than theirs.
‘And because Ernon is rather thinner than ordinary men… There’s no difference between me and me.’
Casilla’s gaze ran over her wrist and then moved back to her chest.
‘… I think my heart likes it. Hmm… . I need to know how other women’s breasts feel.’
Kashiya tilted his head as he rubbed my chest. I rubbed the apex with the tip of my index finger like Ernon did, but I didn’t feel any tingling sensation like he did. But when I recalled the memory he touched my body, I suddenly felt like my throat was dry, and it seemed like my body was getting hot.
“Woo….”
Come to think of it, it was she who had never missed anyone so much. I’ve never thought of anxiously thinking of someone who wasn’t by my side. This is because there was no object to that in my previous life, and he was always by my side from the time I realized that I loved Ernon in the present life. The feeling of’longing’ that started suddenly embarrassed Kashiya. This feeling of wanting him wasn’t simply a desire to satisfy the flesh. The thought that I just wished he was by my side now, the thought that I wanted to hear his voice and meet his eyes, the thought that I wanted to feel his body temperature dominated my mind. But he must have reached Kirel now. It seemed that the next few days would feel really long.
*
It was only five days after Ernon left for Kirel that he arrived in Arcana.
It took a day to reach Kirel’s Foggy Forest while continuing to move to the nearby area, so it took about three days to investigate the Foggy Forest. Ernon, too, saw the fog forest for the first time since the day of the magical explosion. At that time, I was just busy running away, so I couldn’t capture it properly, but the fog forest I went back to and checked was a very mysterious and beautiful place. As the name suggests, in the morning the fog settled in the forest, and it was a mist full of mysterious feelings rather than gloomy. And when the sun rose, the fog quickly cleared, and the leaves in the forest and the dew on the blades of grass shone brightly. The rippling stream was also pretty, and the bunch of lavender that formed a colony was also admirable. Ernon carefully observed and remembered the elemental elements for the illusion to be presented to Casilla, and created a magic to reproduce it.
And tonight, I thought I was going to show it on Kashiya’s birthday, and my heart was thrilled. Casilla’s birthday was actually inaccurate, so only two people promised to call the day she opened her eyes in this world as her birthday. And there was one more Ernon prepared for today. He took out the box he had hidden deep in the desk drawer, opened it again, and took a deep breath. He eagerly hoped that tonight would be perfect.
Casilla, who was unable to get out of the conference room despite hearing that Ernon had returned, was quite uncomfortable with planting. In particular, at the end of the meeting, I was thinking that I would not forget all of my own works that suddenly asked lengthy questions. Rejecting Tassel’s offer to go with a cup of tea, Casilla hurried to the room she was using as her bedroom. Even though he met him after almost a week as usual, he seemed to meet him after a very long time. So I didn’t want to greet him all day long in meetings and discussions. Casilla confirmed that the time that Ernon had said to be visiting was short, then jumped into the bathroom while taking off her clothes and quickly washed herself with all her might. If anyone had seen it, they would have known who was following. By the time Ernon carefully knocked on the door, she was squeezing her dry hair with a towel.
“Did I disturb you while washing?”
“Oh, no. Whoa… It’s been a while…”
“Huh? It’s been a long time since it’s been a while, but we usually saw it once a week.”
“…Because this week feels so long.”
“Is there a lot of work? Isn’t your Majesty too pampered with you?
Ernon gently patted Casilla’s cheek and said, as if worried. As Casilla heard his voice ringing beside me, I felt that my heart, which had been restless until now, was gradually calming. It was a very strange feeling, but it wasn’t bad. Only then was Casilla able to laugh as usual.
“What are you visiting Kirel for?”
“Well. Actually… because of this.”
Ernon’s eyes seemed to be twinkling, and when he lifted his head, the surrounding area, which had just been a bedroom, was in the middle of a greenish forest.
“Ah…. this is….”
“It’s a fog forest.”
Casilla has lost her words. The illusion that unfolded before their eyes was much larger and more sophisticated than the illusion he had ever shown. Even the sunlight shining through the leaves and the cool air flowing through the trees were the same. Casilla couldn’t even shut her mouth, and she stepped carefully. It must be the flat floor of the bedroom, but there was a rustling sound underneath. A few steps away, a small creek was running through the cracks of the rocks, and beyond that, a bunch of lavender flowers, whose memories of one day had been seen, were fluttering in the wind.
“Really… it’s beautiful.”
Again, Casilla had no choice but to show Ernon a defenseless expression that no one could show.
At that time, Ernon grabbed her hand and looked at her.
“The day we first met couldn’t be done without it, but at least I thought it would be nice if the foggy forest was overlaid with beautiful memories for you.”
“Are you thinking about that? I’m okay with that. But I didn’t know that the foggy forest was so beautiful. I’m happy to know even now.”
Casilla smiled brightly. Ernon was encouraged by her smile and pulled something out of her arms with her hands soaked in tension.
“And, in the middle of a foggy forest that is like our first beginning, I wanted to promise you eternity.”
Casilla looked down at the ring he was putting on my finger. A pale green emerald, the same color as her eyes, sparkled from the ring finger of her left hand. A similar emerald ring was already on Ernon’s finger. There was a strong feeling that something was connected to him even though it was simply a metal ring inserted into his finger.
“Oh… this way… I never imagined that I would be offered a proposal.”
The fantasy of the foggy forest was really powerful. Even the finest dust that wandered around scattered the light beautifully, and it seemed as if I could hear the chirping of a freshly awakened mountain bird in the distance. The promise of eternity in the middle of such a beautiful forest was so unbelievable that it was as if I was standing in the fantasy of another person instead. I wondered if I could enjoy this joy.
But the man standing in front of her was not an illusion. He glanced at her joyful face with beautiful purple eyes, and asked in a slightly submerged voice.
“Sir Casilla del Roman. I swear to you eternal love. Will you accept it.”
Casilla felt that the situation was unfamiliar and embarrassing. Young-ae, a noble who grew up precious, thought that this imaginable situation didn’t suit me. Contrary to that thought, however, my nose was sore and my eyes widened. The reason was unknown. Just, my throat was choked, I was short of breath, and I had no idea what to say. In an instant, an eternal silence followed. But I had to answer him something. So she had to wrap her arm around Ernon’s neck, find his lips, and hit my trembling lips. My throat seemed to have been pierced only after a hot flesh struck my mouth.
“Yes. Me too…. Me too….”
It was the night when the fog forest was redefined in the memories of Casilla and Ernon.
